The North Country Care Coordination Workforce Collaborative (NCWC) aims to ensure a care management/care coordination (CM/CC) workforce that is sufficient to support the needs of rural residents and employers in eight counties.

To do this, the NCWC will address four overarching goals:

1. Linkages: Establish and support a network – the NCWC – of healthcare employers, educational entities, and other workforce stakeholders to leverage and coordinate supports & opportunities that each organization may already offer and to foster and sustain a robust and diverse CM/CC workforce.
2. Career Pathway Development: Provide occupational training, including apprenticeships, and identify/promote career pathways to bring new CM/CC into the field.
3. Education & Training for CM/CC: Enhance knowledge and skills regarding chronic conditions prevalent in the region and other topics of need.
4. Retention: Offer programs/activities to address burnout and support CM/CC retention.
